    Pioneer 1014 Wow

    Personally I didn't like the mcacc. I felt it sounded better using my ears and not the mike. Haven't watched a movie with my dvd player yet. Have listened to some music and feel it's an improvement over my previous yammie htr-5730 in terms of clarity and power.

    Pioneer 1014 Wow

    I just picked a brand new 1014 from best buy for $320. There just wasn't enough extra options on the 1015 that made it worth spending $130 more from an another authorized dealer. Now I've got to figure a way to get a good "sweet spot" with 7 speakers instead of 5.

    Multi vs 2ch?

    Recently I sold my previous center and fronts then bought some new fronts. So I had 2 rears, 2 fronts, and a sub. I watched some dialogue driven movies w/out the sub directing the center output to the fronts and hated it. I preferred putting a cheap $17 sony bookshelf as the center compared...

    5.1 system on a $1,000 budget

    I was just looking at that jbl package. Seems like a good deal. But I would implore you to listen to as many speakers as you can. Answers: (1) Athena, Klipsch, Ascend, axiom, Energy, Polk, BIC (2) I would recommend the JBL because that is what sounded better to me. You should buy whatever...

    Which movies of mine are best to show off my Theater

    I didn't look at your list but Ronin has imo the best audio for a car chase that I've ever experienced. It sounds so realistic. Some of the crashes are amazing. Not only is the audio great, it's a really great movie. A good pick up in the $7 bin at wal mart. T3 is amazing as well. Not the...

    JBL's - Here's what I want to do. Opinions?

    Here's what I would consider: 1. If moving into a bigger room in the future I would go with maybe e10s in the front and for 2 of the rears and and ec35 for the center. Then I would have some off brand cheap speakers to fill in the rear. Then when you move into a bigger room I would look at...

    What about when you come home? You always come home, if you're lucky it's with someone of the other sex.

    eBay, drunkeness, and the audio upgrade bug

    I recently bought a sony 32" hdtv and a pair of jbl e90 floorstanders and currently have a cheapie sony bookshelf as my center, so I've been eyeing the ec35 for quite some time. My plan was to wait until I paid of my tv then go ahead and get the center. My plan didn't take in effect that I...

    when you can't "suspend disbelief" any longer...

    My favorite one is when someone wants to destroy a computer in a movie they shoot the monitor or keyboard and instantly the computer is destroyed.

    JBL Speaker setup

    If you don't listen to 5 channel music I would just get some inexpensive speakers almost anything will do for rears and put more money into a sub or better fronts. With the money you save by not buying the e10s you could upgrade your fronts to e60s.

    Finally pulled the trigger....

    I'm glad you came to your decision based on listening to the choices available. I listened to 4 brands of speakers before I went and bought my jbl e90s. Best way to do it, listen and what ever sounds best go buy it.

    JBL E Series?

    I listened to some infinity primus 250s at ultimate electronics with the same yamaha receiver I have. I bought the jbl e90s for about the same price I could have bought the 250s. The primus's sounded flat to me. The jbl's sounded much crisper to me. It's not comparing apples to apples but I"m...

    Thinking about buying jbl

    So jbl has been selling at these prices for awhile? At best buy the e90s are like $900 per pair. It just seemed odd that reputable stores like bh could sell for socheap.

    Thinking about buying jbl

    I'm pretty sure when I originally went to check prices that bh was higher plus no free shipping. Then the next day they price matched J&R with free shipping. I pretty sure it is a sale, or maybe they've been on sale for the last few months because they are discontinued.

    Thinking about buying jbl

    Well let me restate that: JBL doesn't list them as authorized dealers.

    Thinking about buying jbl

    Just looked at jbls website and it states that digital1234 isn't an authorized jbl dealer. So your manufactuers warranty is void.

    Thinking about buying jbl

    Might have to check that out. I've been looking for a cheap price for the ec35. Can't believe on ebay the prices on jbl speakers are more expensive then the ones you can find at reputable e-stores.

    Thinking about buying jbl

    I think jbl has been talked about because there was is a pretty good sale on them at bhphotovideo. I ordered a pair of e90s but haven't listened to them because best buy is the only store around that has them. The jbl displays at bestbuy have damaged woofers. I figured I got the jbls at a...

    For anyone looking to buy JBL E80s

    Yeah right now, you'll have to go to bhphotovideo. I cancelled my order of e80s over at J&R and ordered the e90s from bhphoto for $470 shipped.

    JBL E 80's, 90's, or 100's

    I agree with Vishal. If 95% of your use is going to be ht then his setup looks like the one to get. I went with the e90s because i plan on playing enough music to make it worth upgrading from the e80s.

    floor standers for $300 CAD, need guidance please!

    If JBLs are an option, sounds like they're not, check out bhphotovideo.com they have a killer sale on the jbls right now. I just bought the e90s for $470 w/free shipping. I don't know if they fall in your price range (don't know the canadian to american exchange rate) you might even want to...

    I'd go with a SVS sub.

    JBL NORTHRIDGE N26 as surrounds for E80 setup?

    Yeah, if you can afford the ec35 it seems that it is clearly a better center, not that I've compared either one.

    JBL NORTHRIDGE N26 as surrounds for E80 setup?

    Kinda funny I already have the same TV, e80s (coming in a week or so), and e35 in a month or so that I'll I have to do is read up on mikeys posts so I don't have to ask any questions.:D

    For anyone looking to buy JBL E80s

    I ended up getting the KV32HS420. I got a no interest for 15 months but still would like to make a nice first payment. I got a feeling that jbl speakers go on a great sale every few months. BTW I really love the tv. DVDs look so much better compared to my cheapie 32" sansui I had.

    For anyone looking to buy JBL E80s

    Looks like I'll go with the 35 later. Don't have the cash right now. I just bought a 32" Sony hdtv. I'll wait until I can find a good deal on the next go around.
